Return Conditions

Items must be returned in NEW (unused, untested, and resalable) condition, in the original manufacturer packaging, promotional items included. For your protection, items must be returned shipping prepaid, insured for the full value and safely wrapped to prevent shipping damage.

Items that have been used by the customer or items that have been damaged by use cannot be returned to us. We also cannot accept returns on orders where a promotional item has not been returned with the order. For example, if you bought an item that came with free extra product. These ‘extras’ must be included with your return to qualify for a full refund.

When repacking an item for return, please be sure to include all the free and promotional items that came with your order as well as all applicable accessories. Generally, as a “rule-of-thumb" you should return the items to us the same way we sent them to you - in the same condition and with all the original contents. If a promotional item is missing, its value will be added to the original price you paid for the order, thus reducing the amount of the refund, if such is issued.
